Taco bar hire for your event in Bow Common
We bring taco bars to events in and around Bow Common: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits leaving and retirement parties and wedding day food.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Bow Common have no vehicle access to the room. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
